Summary
Hans Kung: A world ethos for a world economy
'At the turn of the third millennium, world politics is in deep crisis. There is more and more terrible news about social, political and economic events. Hans Kung subjects these developments to a radical critique. In this book, he shows how the world economy is in dire need of one, binding, fundamental direction. Theologian Hans Kung is looking for fundamental orientations in order to achieve a more peaceful, just and humane world. He does not offer smart recipes, but real incentives: the application of the World Ethos Project in the reality of economy and sustainable development. The themes of this book arise from this: is there some kind of world economic policy between the welfare state and pure capitalism? What role do religions play in current crises and conflicts? How should the world ethos be realized? With this book, Hans Kung offers something that no thinker has attempted for a long time: a thoughtful blueprint for the future based on the common ethos of humanity.'
